eam members should support initiatives set up by the leader after they have been approved and improved by the rest of the group.
This places importance on the value of collaboration where members play an active role in the execution of tasks instead of the leader dictating what should be done and the members following his instructions without questioning it.
leadership example
in Year 11 I had multiple leadership roles. As house captain I was the leader of around 25 pupils, and as the sports and rugby captain, I had to make tough decisions in quick succession, and I managed to create a group of non-rugby players into a serious and hard-working team. I was also my form representative, so I relayed queries back and forwards with the school council and I’m a member of the college medical society.

what is empathy
Empathy is the capacity to take the perspectives of others, to be sensitive to their inner experience and to compassionately engage with them; appreciating the perspectives of others involves understanding the other person’s feelings and where they come from, rather than simply judging and labelling them.
The difference between empathy and sympathy
It is important to recognise that empathy and sympathy are not alike. When you feel sympathetic to another person, you may feel sad about the situation the person has found themselves in and offer support.
On the other hand, when you feel empathy, you are understanding of what someone is going through because you have been through it yourself or you can imagine what it would be like to go through it.
